Woman dies after flying to Gatwick from Ebola hit Sierra Leone

 

A woman has died after landing at Gatwick airport on a flight from Sierra Leone, one of the countries at the centre of the deadly Ebola outbreak.

The 72-year-old was understood to have been “vomiting and sweating” before she collapsed and was taken by ambulance to hospital.

She had been travelling on a Gambia Bird flight with 128 passengers on board from Sierra Leone, which has declared a state of emergency after more than 200 people have died in the country from the disease.

The plane, which landed at 8.15am on Saturday from Freetown in Sierra Leone after stopping in the Gambia, is quarantined, the Daily Mirror reported.
